If You Build It, They Will Come!

Camp has an exciting announcement to make. Tune in to this month's edition of Eyewitness News to learn what's coming next spring!
Batter Up!

We are so excited to build this stadium and can't wait to see kids, adults, and families playing in it next year. As Bobber Bill mentioned in the video, the inaugural first pitch in the new stadium will happen on Memorial Day Monday (May 29) as part of Camp's 70th Anniversary Celebration. The stadium's design will be unveiled in early 2017 at a Camp Get Together in the Twin Cities. More information about the 70th Anniversary Celebration and Camp Get Together will be coming soon!
WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
 
After two rounds of voting for the best pictures from the summer of 2016, the wait is finally over and the winners have been announced. Thank you to all of you who voted! Watch for many of these pictures in future Camp Lebanon promotional materials.

Joke of the Month

Girl Camper to Guy Counselor:  "Did you know that girls are smarter than boys?"

Guy Counselor: "No, I didn't know that."

Girl Camper: "There you go."
Meet a Staff Member: Bill Abeler
Camp Director - "Bobber Bill"

Hired on April Fool's Day of 1986, Bill came "home" to Camp Lebanon, returning to lead the ministry that meant the world to him and his family in his growing up years going back to 1966. "Bobber Bill's" favorite assignments include welcoming summer youth campers, hosting family and senior adult events, and taking kids fishing. 

He took the time to answer fifteen get-to-know-you questions. Check out his answers!
